um no, you need special solution from auto parts store called tint remover. you gotta let that soak and then the tint peels off, then you are gonna have fun cleaning off all the goo thats left on the window. if you have rear defroster lines, good luck. there is a very good chance they will peel off and get ruined.
I removed my back tint using water, spray bottle, lemon joy, razor, and a trash bag
I haven't even removed my side window tints because I haven't came around to retinting them yet. Only reason was the back tints had lots of air bubbles which made it foggy. Here is a link I used to help myslef
http://www.doityourselftint.com/window_tint_removal.htm
But I tried removing the residue off the back and that didn't go so well. I don't kno if it was because it was a cold day and I gotta try it at a sunny day or do I need a tint remover liquid or something??? Any suggestions?

The way to remove tints are...
Get a women's blow drier or a heat gun (which ever you like), make sure it blows hot... then with a razor, blow the hot air onto the window corner and peel the corner of the tint off. Put down the razor and continue to blow the hot air to the area where you are peeling from. eventually, the whole tint comes off with no tint glue residue on the glass.

alright guys thanks for all the info. i'm gonna get a hairdryer and some blades and start this weekend. i doubt i'll do the rear window. the driver and passenger are peeling in areas and looking like **** and i'm just gonna remove it and be done for now. thanks again.
Hey get a heat gun from wal-mart and heat it, it will come off pretty easy and for the little bit of (residue) left get adhisive remover and it takes care of that its actually pretty easy.. Oh yeah and then when your done take the heat gun back to wal-mart with the receipt and tell them you did'nt need it and get your money back
